Editorial summaries

Spectacles 5

Snap's Spectacles 5 are standalone AR glasses (Snap OS, dual see-through waveguide displays, hand-tracking and voice, four cameras, ~46-degree field of view, ~45-minute runtime) and the AR-first corner of the wearable-AI cohort, distinct from the capture-first recorders (Plaud, Omi) and the assistant-first camera glasses (Meta Ray-Ban, Rokid). The AI is genuine: multimodal Lenses and a 'My AI' assistant powered by OpenAI and Google's Gemini (read signs, translate menus, identify objects).

DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity, because it is not a consumer product: distribution is developer-only, a $99-per-month subscription with a one-year commitment, US-only, not retail. There is therefore no consumer purchase price. A next-generation consumer device, 'Specs', is targeted for 2026 but has not shipped.

AirGo Vision

The Solos AirGo Vision is an audio-first AI smart-glasses line with a camera, built on the AirGo platform. Its SmartHinge system swaps camera and non-camera frame fronts and arms via USB-C. SolosChat is powered by GPT-4o, cloud-routed through Solos servers ('ask about what you see').

Pricing is $299 standard and $349 for the bundle, with a $149 camera front-plate. It is genuine cloud AI, though reviews note mediocre open-ear speakers and camera quality. Successors include the AirGo A5 (audio) and AirGo V2 (16MP, January 2026).
